Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Teachers, Vol. 23 Matthew Arnold was a critic and writer, who, having secured a tuppence worth of success through being the son of his father, and thus securing the speaker's eye, finally got an oratorical bee in his bonnet and went a-barnstorming. He cultivated reserve and indifference, both of which he was told were necessary factors in success in a public speaker. And this is true. But they will not make an orator, any more than long hair, a peculiar necktie, and a queer hat will oat a poet on the tide of time safely into the Hall of Fame.
